Ahhh, the plight of the PRC. We'd still have to get it CARB certified to keep your necks out of the noose, and that's a pretty steep cost from what we've been told, but I'm not against looking into it. I downloaded the information on EO certification (which mind you looks like a MIL spec document from the 1960's that was written on a Columbia Barlock #8 Typewriter) and grabbed an application off their website to take a look at what would be required of us if we would choose to go that route. I'll tell you right now, I'm not making any promises. Their requirements to certify the parts per year of car and other items make compliance near prohibitive for smaller run parts like a Protege header.
I'll keep you posted - I do like the idea of a modular setup with a factory style front catalyst flange...that would probably work out quite well.

something like what AWR used to make would be great! :thumbs up:

I'm glad to know that it HAS been done and CAN be done; and with the folks at Corksport finally on board I'm sure that it will be done PROPERLY. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed that they can get it CARB certified for the PRC. (yes)

Or what about making a exhaust manifold for the Mazdaspeed 3?(bow)
i have some cad drawings of a header i had designed but never made for the protege.. Long runner 4-1 header. Pipes equalized early, so was easy to lengthen to bias the power lower, or shorten to bias it higher..
may consider giving the design to a manufacturer in exchange for a freebie

AWR and the OBX/Ractive garbage is one thing (I have an OBX; despise it), but don't forget that Mazda itself made a 4-2-1 header. It was/is a nice piece of kit.

The $1100 part on our website is an AutoExe part, and yes, it's extremely high quality. But the dollar's in the crapper right now and that's not helping cost of JDM parts.

Other alternatives also included

And at one time, Pacesetter was making them too.(http://www.pacesetterexhaust.com/headers_detail.php#notes)
I remember seeing some other mild steel header company but can't think of it at the moment.
Point being: 4-2-1 headers for the FS motor were relatively plentiful at one time.

You're totally right, but fat luck finding the actual Mazda one
The Hurricane one looks exactly like the 4-1 piece made by Ractive...
Thank you , that was the one I was other brand I was looking for.

Similar indeed.
Too bad none of the headers for the BGs won't fit. The BP engine was gooder in that regard.
Looks like Australia is the last vestage of Mazda header'dom.
